Abiraterone Withdrawal Syndrome - anyone experience it?
A friend of mine stopped Zytiga and his PSA went [i]down[/i]. I'm familiar with bicalutamide withdrawal syndrome: PSA increases after a while taking Casodex but goes down when Casodex is stopped. This is caused by the Androgen Receptor using bicalutamide to become activated, and is well known. I've even

Rise in ALP level, PSA continues to fall, what can it mean?
My dad's ALP went down to 81 last month after 6 cycles of chemo. He then moved on to Lupron + Casodex. After 1 month, its now risen from 81 to 121. He also has little pain on and off in his back and thighs from 4 days. He has stopped taking his painkiller since a month and doesn't need them yet.

New Oncologst
I have a scheduled appointment with her next Wednesday, January 22 for my monthly check in, blood work, and
Faslodex
injection. I find it unacceptable that she has not once contacted me. Or even had her nurse call. I’m tired of being brushed off for anything I try to contact her about.

Hi all --- (original post gone) -- Determined despite devastation. Looking at "What next."

More questions
Great scans in January, no disease progression or lesions, old lesions healed, psa is stabilized around 3.7. should I consider casodex , feel good, still working part time.

Stopping Casodex before stopping Lupron
I am on day 30/34 of IMRT Salvage Radiation. I started Bicalutimide just prior to starting Leuprolide Acetate back in November. I have tolerated the ADT treatment fairly well with minimal side effects. A Decipher test was performed midway through this per my request and my Decipher score came back

Undetectable 5 years and 2 months after DX of Metastatic PC w/ a PSA of 209
Hi Battle Brothers and Sisters. I don't post much, but always follow your posts. I just had my labs done today and as usual I was suffering from pre-test PSA anxiety the past few days. I was needless to say delighted and feel very lucky that I am still undetectable. If somebody told me when I was DX'ed

Upcoming appt. with urologist
Hi Warriors, I attend a bi-monthly PCa group of about 18 men; most have no more prostate. I still have mine and will be consulting with a urologist surgeon whom the group trusts. Dr. K's creds do not include oncology but he seems more knowledgeable in all aspects of PCa than some oncs I've dealt with

Casodex and Lupron
I just got my first 3 month Lupron shot on Tuesday. Am I supposed to continue taking Casodex as well? My MO is taking forever to answer. UPDATE 2/7/2020: My MO just said to stop taking it. We're doing a PSA test 7 weeks after my Lupron to see where we are. Thanks
